Ticks can be attracted across air gaps several times larger than themselves by the static electricity that their hosts naturally accumulate, researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered.

Scientists have discovered that a microscopic parasitic worm can propel itself astonishing distances through the air by using ...

A recent study has investigated the possible sources of charge mosaics for over a decade. Historically, contact electrification (CE) was humanity's first and only source of electricity up until ca.
